Amadeus subscribers can now book Ryanair fares and full ancillary services as its “significant” partnership starts.
It is the first time in 10 years that Ryanair fares have been bookable through Amadeus and follows on from a similar deal the Irish carrier announced with GDS firm Travelport earlier this year.
Amadeus subscribers will not be subject to any surcharge when booking Ryanair and the fares displayed via Amadeus will have parity with Ryanair’s other distribution channel, including its website.
Ryanair’s chief marketing officer, Kenny Jacobs said: “Our new partnership with Amadeus is a significant development for Ryanair and for businesses and travellers across Europe as we continue to evolve our business and customer offering. As Europe’s largest airline, we’ll carry over 87m customers this year on the largest route network, connecting 186 airports in 30 countries.”
He added: “With more than 27% of our customers already travelling on business, we are continuing to improve Europe’s best business service, with the lowest fares, most on-time flights and our tailored Business Plus service. For business travellers, corporations and TMCs, this agreement will mean greater access to our low fares and Europe’s largest route network.”
